SF: Court documents imply Sheriff used food to control, punish family.
But in an effort to get Breall to issue a more long-lasting protective order barring Mirkarimi from making contact with his family, veteran Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Aguilar-Tarchi read what she said were text messages and e-mails that Lopez had sent to neighbor Ivory Madison. Among them, as we reported yesterday:
-- "Will the police arrest him, or will they just talk to him?"
-- "We're leaving Monterey. The aquarium was so nice and Ross fed us regularly."
-- "Hello, Ivory. I'm not going to call the police. I'm going to open a record with my doctor."....

The unusual mention of food in the text that appears to describe a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium also echoes information in the arrest warrant affidavit filed in Mirkarimi's case. The argument that precipitated the alleged abuse on New Year's Eve began, according to the affidavit, while the couple and their son, Theo, were on the way to a restaurant. Mirkarimi "stated something to the effect that [Lopez] didn't deserve to eat," the affidavit states.
